Szatmari (psychiatry & behavioral neurosciences, McMaster Univ., Ont.) serves as the director of the Canadian Autism Intervention Research Network and has worked with ASD people for more than 20 years. In this excellent book, he takes a novel tack: using personal narratives to introduce and describe ASD traits. Instead of illustrating a concept with brief passages, Szatmari discusses 12 concepts of ASD via 12 in-depth profiles. Readers will meet "Justin," a 30-year-old with acute hearing and an obsession with sounds (so much that he can hear computer speed by ear); "Heather," a little girl who does not like to be touched by her mother; and "Sharon," a 41-year-old architect who has many traits of autism, including the theory of mind (i.e., the inability to acknowledge others). In these vivid descriptions, we see a greater variety of people with ASD than we normally do in the literature. Highly recommended for academic libraries.
